Abstract:The purpose of this research study is to compile a state-of-the-art document on current commuter rail systems in the United States. A survey was conducted to collect the relevant information from existing and proposed commuter rail agencies. Each of the existing commuter rail systems (12) presented in this report is profiled in terms of system characteristics and detailed information on operations, fare collection, stations, maintenance facilities, patronage, railcars, and feeder systems. Numerous charts profile commuter rail systems and trends, and compare commuter rail with other mass transit systems. Information in this report provides a base of information with which transportation planners can make informed decisions related to current and future transportation projects. The information in this report is a result of an extensive literature search.
